Know that if the nation gathered to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah has decreed for you.
لَكَ for you
'For you', the 'li-' of benefit with 'you' fused on, marking you as the one the decree is written for. Any benefit reaching you was already inscribed in your favor.
قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتنِي وَرَجَوْتنِي غَفَرْتُ لَك عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْك وَلَا أُبَالِي،
Allah, the Exalted, said: "O son of Adam! As long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind.
لَكَ for you
The 'li-' fastens the forgiving onto its beneficiary — you. Small as it is, the prefix tells you who gains by the act, and the attached pronoun is 'you'.
يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُك عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتنِي غَفَرْتُ لَك،
O son of Adam! If your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you were to ask for My forgiveness, I would forgive you.
لَكَ for you
Once more the 'li-' points the forgiveness toward its beneficiary, you. Its repetition across the three promises drives home who stands to gain.

They say: If they saw You, they would be more devout in worship, more devoted in glorifying, and more frequent in praising.
لَكَ to You
This is 'to / for You' — naming toward whom the fervour is directed: God. The 'li-' marks the recipient, and the pronoun is God. So 'more fervent TOWARD You'.
قال يقولون لو رأوك كانوا أشد لك عبادة، وأشد لك تمجيدًا، وأكثر لك تسبيحًا
They say: If they saw You, they would be more devout in worship, more devoted in glorifying, and more frequent in praising.
لَكَ to You

لَكَ for you
This is the preposition for 'to/for' with the 'you' pronoun fused onto it, so one word means 'for you'. The preposition forces that attached pronoun into the object form; together they show whose benefit is meant.
